Dreams can be a wonderful escape from the sometimes harsh realities of life. They can be a moment of peace in a hectic world, a moment of bliss in an otherwise life of hard work and obligation. Dreams can also be a marker, a place to aspire to, a goal to be lived into. That's the approach we will take during our Epiphany series. Join us and let's work together to find a way to make our dreams come true.

“Joy to the World,” a beloved Christmas classic, turns 300 this year. Composer Isaac Watt’s interpretation of Psalm 98 invites us to sing a “new song”–and it is a powerful cosmic performance of all creation being renewed and freed. Rather than “joy” being yet another word for “happiness,” we will discover that the

depths of joy can be found especially in the midst of suffering, the work of justice, and the presence of compassion–all part of the coming of Jesus to this world and a message the world still so desperately needs.

Spiritual practice feeds that part of ourselves that is oriented toward serenity, harmony, truth, compassion, gratitude, love and joy. But these are not always words we use to describe the role of money in our lives. In the classic film, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” a crisis of money creates vastly diverse reactions from several characters that can hold up a mirror to our own relationships with money. In this four week series, we will “look” squarely in the face of our money issues in compassionate ways that can offer more depth of meaning, healing, and wholeness and a whole new “outlook” on what constitutes a wonderful life.

It's said sometimes that life can be hit or miss. Sometimes we score, sometimes we don't. And for some, the misses seem to outnumber the hits.

The season of Lent has often been a time when we think about "giving something up”—a holdover from its penitential flavor in the medieval church.

God created the heavens and the earth... and called it all good!

We spend too much time being “driven” rather than “drawn in.” We focus on what we “should” do rather than what we feel excited and compelled to do in our lives, in this world. During this series, we will connect with our inherent creativity and nurture this foundational aspect of being human, giving us renewed energy for passionate work, delightful play, and creative problem solving to make this world a better place for all.

This year is the 200th anniversary of the debut of "Silent Night, Holy Night."

This hymn has become the best-loved worship moment of many Christians–even those who only come to church once a year. Something mystical occurs as we light our candles and sing the hope of "all is calm, all is bright"–peace and light for the world. This worship series will celebrate the carol's message over the entire season of Advent and highlight its call for our lives that can guide us all

year long.

Theology is everywhere!

Disney has been imagining and reimagining inspiring stories, both new and classic, for decades. If you look deep enough, you'll find that there are a lot of life-lessons and theology to be gleaned from most of them. This series takes a look at some of the things we can learn from Disney's telling of six beloved classic stories.
